The central Wikimedia portalwikimedia.org and the multilingual portal pages provide central access to theWikimedia projects. This page provides a list of the portals and information on how to update them.
These are the nine portals that currently exist for our multilingual projects, including the Wikimedia movement portal and API portal.
Note thatwikisource.org includes actual texts and is not just a portal for editions ofWikisource. LikeIncubator, it contains texts in languages that have small editing communities, and it also hosts texts in languages with very little sources as well as texts that are multilingual.
Project portals get approximately 3 to 5% of our total page views. For instance, wikipedia.org gets 3% of page views from many countries, but 5% on average and as many as 33% in India. See the following links for more statistics.
As a result of apoll in 2008, the ring ofTop Ten Wikipedias on wikipedia.org is defined by number of views per hour, rather than the number of content pages.
As aresult of a A/B test in 2016, the ring of Top Ten Wikipedias are now resorted automatically by the visitor's preferred language (as set by their web browser preferences). If the portal is unable to detect the visitor's preferred language, the remaining top ten Wikipedias will be displayed in the order of "page views per hour".
Updates to the statistics on the Wikipedia.org portal are performed approximately every two weeks and are tracked inthis Phabricator task.
The portal code is hosted athttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/wikimedia/portals with a subdirectory for each version of the portal. All code is managed viaGerrit. If you would like to learn more about using git/gerrit there isa tutorial available on MediaWiki.org.
The data for the portals comes fromhttps://pagecounts.toolforge.org/pagecounts.json. How the process works is described inhttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikimedia/portals/+/refs/heads/master/data/ .
